development
Install Rust: https://www.rust-lang.org
$ cargo build # compiles the code
$ cargo run -- -m Nf3 # executes the binary
I also use rustfmt and clippy:
$ rustup component add clippy
$ rustup component add rustfmt
Then make sure run these commands before committing.
$ cargo fmt
$ cargo clippy
